On Saturday night at the Stade de France, Paris Saint-Germain and Stade de Reims battled for the Coupe de France title. In a one-sided match, PSG secured their 16th victory in the competition—their eighth since the Qatari era—winning 3-0 (watch the video highlights and goals). Reims goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf spoke to France Télévisions after the match, reflecting on their elite-level opponents.
Diouf: “PSG? They’re one of the best teams in Europe.”
Was PSG unstoppable tonight?
“Yes, absolutely. There’s a reason they’re one of the best teams in Europe. We tried to fight with the tools we had, but they were limited. Against a side like this, it’s tough. We gave everything we had, but it wasn’t enough.”
How do you finish the season strong?
“By taking it one game at a time. We were focused on Metz on Wednesday, then on the final, and now we need to switch focus to the next challenge. There’s no choice. It’s a tough end to the season, but we have to stay focused and keep pushing.”
Any words for the supporters who showed up in numbers?
“Thank you, because this season has been tough for them as well. Winning the Coupe de France was a bright moment—I hope they enjoyed it, even if we wished for a different outcome. Either way, we gave everything and have no regrets.”
